questions i want answered!!!!!!

1 - why am i upside - down on one side of a spoon but not the other when i look in it?

2 - why do i press the buttons on the control when the batteries are low?

i had some more earlier but i cant remember them, i shall think for a bit them come back.

 

1, The spoon acts as a parabolic reflector. Light coming from above is reflected down, light coming from below is reflected up, and the result is an inverted image (I just Googled that).

2. Idk but I subconciously press the buttons harder, thinking it will it will help send a stronger signal :&

 

1. 'cause you are a stupid limey.

2. 'cause you're a really stupid, goddamned limey.

 

interesting, what if i was to get a spoon and squash it so it was flatter would the image them be right? or would it still be upside down?

 

Ok, now your taking the piss

 

no seriously if i did that what would happen? would my face still be upside down or would it be the right way?

 

The light would bounce of the flat surface and your eye would see a normal reflection. By making the spoon flat it would be similar to a normal mirror...

 

interesting, im going to go and find a spoon

 

here' smy question: what does "taking the piss" mean?

 

mynameiskc thats a good question - i dunno the answer,

 

If you make jokes about someone or take libertys then your taking the piss out of them. If someone asks you if a flat spoon gives you an inverted reflection then theres a good chance that their winding you up

 

ah. okay. thanks.

 

i have a question, whats that shiny skin made of on a hotdog...
And you see in movies anything about the end of the world, they always have the big countdown clock, do you think people in office have those?

 

TAKE THE PISS
[Q] “Could you throw some light on to the origin of taking the piss? Is it meant actually being made to drink someone else’s urine.”
[A] Nothing literal about this one, you will be pleased to hear. It’s usually said that the phrase derives from an older one, piss-proud, which refers to having an erection when waking up in the morning, which is usually attributed to a full bladder (proud here being an obvious pun on its senses of something raised or projecting and of something in which one may take satisfaction).
It’s first recorded, as so many such indecorous expressions are, in Francis Grose’s A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue; in the second edition of 1788 he wrote: “Piss-proud, having a false erection. That old fellow thought he had an erection, but his — was only piss-proud; said of any old fellow who marries a young wife”.
This developed into a figurative sense of somebody who had an exaggerated idea of his own importance. So to take the piss is to deflate somebody, to disabuse them of their mistaken belief that they are special. It’s not recorded before the beginning of the twentieth century.

 

cool. i love that kinda shit. fascinating.

 

the shiny skin is intestines i think, its something like that.

 

on hot dogs? i know sausages have it, but hot dogs?

 

i dunno then i might google it and see what i get lol.

 

Most of the hot dogs you get in the store are stuffed into synthetic collagen casings, but if you are making them at home you can use natural casings

its not easy finding out what they are made of

 

thanks wiggy..cause the hotdog skin is so damn shiny...
